Description
After the painting by Sir Thomas Lawrence (exh. R.A. 1825, no. 288, 'Portrait of the son of J.G. Lambton'; see also exh. cat. Thomas Lawrence: Regency Power & Brilliance (NPG, 2010), cat. 45, reproduced in colour, p. 253; Private Collection (Earl of Durham)). Charles William Lambton (1818-1831) was the son of the John George Lambton, 1st Earl of Durham (1792-1840). A young boy with dark curls sits on a rocky outcrop in a landscape, a stream seen below and to the left. He looks up towards the left, head slightly inclined towards the right, playing with his hair with his left hand. He wears a dark, velvet knickerbocker suit and white shirt with lace collar open at the neck. His right leg is tucked under his left.
Notes
History note: Annotations in Nagler give the reference/accession number '34.A.12' , a Lord Fitzwilliam album with the title, 'Portraits and mixed subjects and landscapes' which contained '19 loose prints' of which the Cousins print was, according to Nagler, 'no.6'. The prints which were loose inside this album were not original to it and had no connection to Lord Fitzwilliam or his print collection. See also P.14971-R, another Dominic Colnaghi acquired print which was once contained inside this album.
